Abstract

This tutorial/workshop demonstrates how to enhance conventional undergraduate courses of operating systems by including object-oriented simulation. The theory in a conventional course is supplemented and enhanced by illustrating the principles using practical simulation models to study the general behavior and performance of various aspects of operating systems. These models are object-oriented discrete event simulation models implemented in Java and C++. Conventional courses on operating systems describe the theoretical aspects with much detail and do not emphasize the study of performance to analyze these systems.
